The flowers are pure white, with rosy center, opening in the morning; open all day; leaves delicately lobed and cleft. 15 cts. each. I. turpethrum. This species we obtained from India, It has the most beautiful flowers, of a clear ivory white, that remain open all day. The stems are very curious, being broad and flat, the edges being sharp and serrated. It has never seeded with us, and can be grown only from layers. 30 cts. each; one each of the six perennial Ipomseas for 85 cts. LONICERA. {Honeysuckle.) Favorite hardy climbers, succeeding well in Flori- da, regardless of situation. L. aurea reticulata. (Japan Golden-leaved.) Foliage variegated with yellow. 35 cts. each. L. Chinensis sempervirens. (Chinese Evergreen Honevsuckle.) 25 cts. each. L. Halleana. (Hall's Japan Honeysuckle.) One of the very best; a strong grower, almost always in bloom; flowers white, changing to yellow, very fra- grant. 10 and 25 cts. each, SI and 82.50 per dozen. L. Periclymenum (L. Belgicum). (Monthly Honey- suckle.) Fragrant red and yellow flowers. 25 cts. L. sempervirensr (Coral Honeysuckle.) A handsome native climber, with scarlet flowers. 20 cts. each. LYGODIUM SCANDENS. A very beautiful climbing fern from Japan. It is a very rapid grower, and most suitable for the window garden, as it may be trained around the glass, making a most beautiful frame work for other plants. Fine plants, 20 cts. each. MANDEVILLA SUAVEOLENS. A strong woody climber from Buenos Avers. Flowers large, pure white, fragrant. This plant requires plenty of room, and should be planted out permanently in the greenhouse, as it does not succeed well in pots. $1 each. MANETTIA. M. cordifolia. A well-k n 0 w n greenhouse climber, that produces its tubular scarlet flowers in great abundance. This is the won- derful Manettia Vine that was sold as a nov- elty at high prices last season. 20 cts. each. M. scandens. Similar to the preceding, but flowers are orange instead of red; both of them make elegant house plants, and being constantly in bloom are very desirable. 20 cts. each; or one of each for 35 cts. MOMORDICA BALSAM IN A. [Balsam Apple.) A handsome climber, the fruit of which, broken up and put in alcohol, makes a valu- able liniment. We have several other species also. All are valuable climbers for covering large arbors. Seeds, 10 cts. per paper. MUCUNA PAN ICU LATA. A very desirable summer climber of extreme- ly rapid growth. The plant itself somewhat resembles a lima bean, but its wonderful racemes of dark purple flowers are unlike any- thing else we have seen. It should be plant- ed to run over an arbor or trellis, that the flowers may depend from the under side, where they will show to great advantage. As it is such a rapid grower, seeds should be planted where they are to remain, although we can supply plants during March, April and May. Plants, 20 cts. each; seeds, 15 cts. per paper. OTHONNA CRASSIFOLIA. A pretty little plant suitable for hanging basket. 10 cts. each. PHILODENDRON. An extensive genus of elegant plants, among which are some choice climbers. Several choice unnamed species, 40 cts each; three for $1. POTHOS AUREA. A beautiful aroid climber, with heart-shaped leaves, marked and spotted green and yellow. The plant is easily grown on a wall or trellis, to which it will cling by the long adventitious roots. 25 cts. each. RHYNCHOSPERMUM. R. jasminoides (Trachelospermum jasminoides). A val- uable evergreen climber, hardy throughout the state; its small, white, fragrant flowers are pro- duced in spring in great abundance. 25 cts. each. R. jasminoides variegata. Leaves edged and mottled with creamy white. 25 cts. each. IK^One strong plant of each for 40 cts. SMI LAX. This is a very pretty genus with glossy green leaves.
